The accused was charged of sexual harassment by his junior woman IPS officer two years ago.
Besides, the court also slapped him with a fine of Rs 10,000.
The incident had taken place during the election campaigning when the accused and the victim officer were involved in planning security arrangements for the former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswamy.
